Synopsis

This is not one of those resentful, combative courtyard-compound stories. Yan Bugui spent his whole life pinching pennies and scheming, saving money to put his children through school and support himself in old age. In the end, his children grew distant, and his final years were somewhat lonely. Only on his deathbed did he regret never having lived for himself, and lament all the old objects he had missed out on when they were young and dismissed as “junk.” Reborn, he uses his shrewd, miserly nature to quietly collect antiques, improving his family’s life while making up for his regrets, and eventually becoming a renowned collector who preserves cultural heritage.
